- Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 19, 1918.

Application filed February 14, 1917. Serial No. 148,481.

New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Type-Setting Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to apparatus whereby the operation of a key boardhaving letter and number keys, automatically produces the selection ofprinting type from a suitable magazine, and causes such type to beplaced or set up in a chase in the proper sequence and position; wherebythe chase or form is adapted to be placed in a suitable press to take animpression from the matter set up, and produce the desired printing.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved mechanismforproduo ting these results, wherein the act of depress ing any one ofthe keys will first select the corresponding type and cause it to bedeposited in a. guideway, and thereupon such type \Vlll lJG advanced andplaced in the chase.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved means for veryquickly advancing the selected type to the chase, that is actuatedsolely by the depression of the key.

Another object is to provide improved mechanism for advancing the chaseto, consecutive positions relative to the guide-way along which the typeare advanced, for producing the several lines of printing.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments of my invention,Figure 1' p is a plan view of the apparatus, partly in section. Fig. :2is a vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fi 1. Fi 3 is a transversesection on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on theline- 44 of .Fi 2-. Fig. 5 is a Partial verticalsection enlarged onthe'line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view enlargedof the bars connecting the key levers with the selectors. Figs. 7, 8, 9,and 10 showdotails of the same. Fig. 11 is adetail View enlarged of thelower portion of the carriage. Fig. 12'is a section on the line 1212 ofFig. 11. Fig. 13 is a side elevation, and Fig. 14 is a vertical sectionof the actuating means for the type in the holders. Figs. 15

and 16 show the carrier.

As shown in the drawings, the apparatus comprises essentially a magazinecomposed a of a series of type holders, each containing considerablenumber of the same type; a keyboard with connections for causing theactof'depressing akey to efi'ect the selection and delivery of thecorresponding type into a suitable guide-way; also a carriage and chasearranged-to reciprocate and advance across the end of the guide-way toreceive the selected type as fed along the guide-way by suitableadvancing means, controlled or actuated by the depression of the key.The apparatus further includes means for automatically advancing thecarriage step-by-step after each typeis advanced for spacing if desired;and also means for the line-spacing movement of the chase.

At the upper part of the apparatus, I pro-- vide a 'magazine in the formof a double series of type holders, indicated by 1 and2,

that are composed of'channels 3 in a frame 48, carrying a setof type 4in each channel as shown in detail in Fig. 5. The type channels in thetwo sets are arranged opposite guide-ways 5 and 6, see Fig. 1. In eachchannel is arranged a follower 7, connectedto a band 8 (see Figs. 13 and14) passing around a drum 9, controlled by a spiral spring 15, and aratchet l0 and pawl 11. By' this; means when the drum is released fromthe pawl the type will be forced to the inner end of the. channeland-pass into the.

guide-way 5 or 6. Each of the type channels or holders 3 is providedwith similar actuating means for the type as just set forth. At the endof each type channel a slide 12 reciprocatesvertically to have itsbeveled upper end move across the end of the type channel 3 adjacent theguide-way 5 or 6. This slide 12 is pivoted on the end of a rock bar 13(see Fig; 5) and is normally drawn up by spring 14 to extend into the 7channel and prevent the type. therein being forced by the band 8 intothe guide-way.

Thedrum 9 is rotated by the spring 15 to wind up the band and advancethe type. The pawl 11 connects with the rock bar 13 bv alink.16,;wherebythe, pawl is normally.

held above the ratchet wheel 10, as shown at the left in Fig. 5,permitting the spring to act to draw the type toward the guideway, andthe end type will be pressed against the slide 12 to prevent its escape.

lit will be observed that this pawl 11 lies just beyond the end of atooth, and when the slide 12 is drawn downwardly, as indicated at theright in this view, the pawl will engage the tooth of the ratchet wheeland permit turning of the ratchet wheel by the spring for nearlythedistance of one tooth. This will serve to advance the end type into theguide-way 5, the pawl preventing further advance of the follower andtype. The return of the slide 12 by 1ts spring on release of bar 13 willcause the sharp end of the slide to pass across the end of the nextsucceeding type and engage 1ts outer face, which is done before the pawlis again elevated suiiiciently to release the ratchet wheel, thuspreventnig advance of the end type until the slide is again retracted.The slide is pressed against a guide 17 by spring 18.

At the front of the machine 18 a key board denoted generally by 19.comprising a series of key bars 20 extending rearwardly and suitablypivoted at their rear ends at'21, see Fig. 2. Each key bar has meansconnecting it with one of the said selector bars 13, see Fig. 6.Beneath. each key bar 20, is arranged a bar 22 parallel therewith andwhich is suitably supported for parallel downward movementwhen depressedby a lug 23 on the key bar engaging the bar 22. The bar 22 issupportedby arms 24 and 25 of a pair of angle levers, whose upper arms'26 and 27 are connected by a link 28. The purpose of this is to causeparallel movement of the bar 22 upon. engagement thereof by thesuperposed key bar 20. It is to be understood that for each of the keybars 20 there is a bar 22 supported by anglelevers, arranged to producethe desired parallel movement on depression of the key lever.

Beneath the said bars '22 are arrangel a set of transverse bars 29, eachhaving a lug 30 projecting upwardly in position for engagement with oneof the bars 22. For

convenience of arrangement and operation,

the lugs 30 are arranged diagonally across the machine. The bars 29 areeach supported by the arms 31 and 32 0t bent levers whose arms 33 and 3aare connected by a link 35; whereby to produce parallel movement of thetransverse bar 29. Each bar 29 has a connector 36 secured thereto,projecting upward adjacent one of the said rock bars 13 that controlsthe selector slide 12, as shown in Fig. 5. It will be seen from F 6 thatthe connector has a cross-head 37,

one arm of which will engage the bar 13 to draw it and the slidedownwardly on depression of a key lever, through the described bar 22and transverse bar 29. But byshit't ing the upper portion of thisconnector 36,,

the opposite arm of the cross-head will be brought above the adjacentrock bar 13*. The type holders are divided into two sets,

there being one connector 36 for each pair oi? type holders andconnected rock bars 13, such as 13 and 13 in Fig. 6. The object of thisis to arrange the capital letter type in one set and lower case type inthe second set. For instance, the rock bar 13 being actuated 'by theconnector 36 will serve to select a lower case letter, while if theconnector is shifted to actuate the rock bar 13 instead of the bar 13,then the capital for the same being secured to the lower member 13 ofthe frame 38. The'key 39 may be locked in depressed position by a springarm 4A. This will serve to shift all of the connectors 36 to the rear,as indicated in Fig. 2, and they will engage with the rock bars 13*instead of the rock bars 13, by the cross-heads 37.

The plate 38 and its lower portion 43 form a kind of frame that isshiiftable back and forth and rests on ball bearings as shown at 45 inFig. 2. This frame will be reciprocated by the key 39 and carry theconnectors to engage either set of selector slides. This frame carriesall of the said angle bars supporting the bars 22 and bars 29. Stops137, 237 limit the back and forth movement of frame 38.

, It will be observed from Fig. 1 that there are two sets of typeholders 1 and 2 that serve to advance the type into the guide ways 5 and6 respectively. Half of the keys and key barson one side cooperate withone set and the remaining ones with the opposite set.

At the rear of the guide-ways 5 and 6 they converge, and the type by theadvancing means from each of the guide-ways, is passed through an outletchannel at 416.

An advancing means is provided for each .of these guideways, that are induplicate,

one of them connected with each half of the bank of keys. This device isin the form of an extensible and contractible device such as a lazy-tongmechanism shown in Figs. 1 and 2. On a bracket 4:7 supporting the frame48 containing the guide-way 5, is a bar +29 having links 50 and 51 atits, upper and lower ends respectively. These links 50 and 51 areconnected by links 52 and 53 respectively, with levers 541- and mountedon a fixed pivot 56. The latter levers connect with a series of linkedlevers 57 and 58 shown extended in broken line position, and shown .inthe normal posit-ion in full lines. The forward links 59 and 60connected with the levers 57 and 58 are pivoted to a carrier thereof,and are retained in engagement with such gear by arms 64 and (-35. Theyengage the rear of the rack bars, preferably by rollers 66. These armsare free to swing on the axis cit-the gear and it will be understoodthat rotation of this gear-causes advanceof the rack bars in oppositedirections so that one link is moved upwardly the other one is drawndownwardly thus serving to actd ate the lazy-tong levers 5T and-58.Adjacent the gear is another gear 67 secured 1S engaged by asegment armthereto, that on a shaft 69 that swings outhe bracket 17 The gear isfast to a shaft 691* that carriesa similar gear *?11- meshing with asegment arm 71. The latter is fast on shaft 69-01 the segment 69' A link7?; depends from segment 68 and a similar link 7 0 from segment 71.These links 73 and T0 carry a cross-bar 74 extending under the key barsat the right hand side of the machine. \Vhen any of these key bars isdepressed this crossbar 74; will move downward and thus swing thesegmentarms. This will turn the gears and shift the rack bars, to actuate thelazy-tong device and advance the carrier 72 throughout the guide-way 5,to feed any selected type passed into the guide-way by the saidselecting and advancing means, and place such type in the chase. But thecrossbar 74' is placed a shortdistance below the key bars, so that thecarrier will not be actuated until the described selecting meanshascaused the selected type to be advanced into the guideway.

For the other guide-way an identical form oflazy-tong'mechanismisprovided as indicated at 75 in 1. Thismechanism isprovided with across bar 76 similar to the cross-bar 7 1 that extendsacross beneath all of the other key bars 20 that do not engage withthecross-bar 7 bars and the lazy-tong de ice'with its'car rier,cooperate with the set .2 of thetype' holders on the right side of themachine.

It'will thus be seen that to supply the type in the channels or holders,corresponding with the keys'by which they are controlledz itis onlynecessary to"depress the desired. keys, when the corresponding type willbe released to'be advanced into the guide by its controlling spring,which'is done at once on the depression of the key. This depressionofthe key *also'servesto actuate the lazy-tongdev-ice, that-is advancedimme- The latter set of key diately after the selected type has beenmoved. into the guide-way, and the carrierwill cause such type. to beadvanced to the endof the guide-way. Suitable springsare providedforreturning all ofthesc parts to normal positions. Each of therlinks 35is connected by spring. 77 witha fixed portion of the machine, that willreturn the bars 29 tonormal. positions when released. Each of the angiebars :2-fi26 is eonnectedto a retra'ctile spring 7 8 (see Fig. 2) thatwill reto' normal position when released. .Also a spring 7 9 servestoreturn the lazy-tong device to normal position.

To receive the type selected and advanced, I provide a -.carriagedenoted generally by SO that is movablelaterally acrossthe rear, ofthemachine, which carriage is provided with a chase 14S arranged toslide in a frame 81 on the carriage, that has vertical movement on thecarriage for the purpose of line spacing.- The carriage is shown assupport I turn the barsrQQ, and also the key bars 20 V ed at 82' and-83on suitable bearingsand is drawn fromright to left across the machine bya band 84:, carried by drum 85, that may contain the usual spring suchas used in typewriters. The movement of the carriage in this directioncontrolled by any suitable escapement device, indicated at 86 in Fig. 2,that will permit the. carriage to. advance a unit distance at eachoperation of a key lever. On the escapement is an arm.87 connect-ed withduplicate levers 88, which at the front have, links 89 connecting withlinks 70, 73 whereby every depression of a key lever will operate theescapement. To returnv the carriage, I provide a draft rod 90 (seeFig. 1) that swings an arm 91 on. a spindle 92 at the rear. arm 93engaging a gear 91- fast on an escapement drum 95, around whichone endof the band Si is wound and secured. This band is not directly connectedwith the carriage, but through a lever 96 pivoted on the carriage,v theconnected end of the lever having its stud 97 that secures it to theband working in a slot 98 in the carriage-(see Figs. 1,2 and 11).returned by the said operating means, the lever 96 will first be swungto move stud 97 through the slot 98, and then the carriage is actuated.This lever is connected with the feeding means for the chase.

ustable stops are provided for the carriage that can be actuated fromthe'front'of the machine. As shown I provide a stop 99 This rod 100 hasa g'earlOlmeshing with On this spindle is a segment hen the carriage is.

a gear 102 on a 'sideshaft' 103. The latter extends to the front'of-themachine, to be turned by ahandle 104:. -An indicaton'guide 105-slides'on athreaded shaft 106 to move a pointer-107 along a scale 108. Thisshaft 106 has a get. on the shart A. similar mechanism is provided ont opposite side of the machine for ope ng stop identical with the stop99, controlled by handle 111 through a side shaft 112.

A separate space key 113 is provided at the front, that rocks a lever11%: to swing link 115, connecting with the escapement arm 87.

The chase frame 81 is provided with racks 11321115. 117 on its rear facethat en gage worms 1L and 119 mounted on vertical shafts 120 and 121respectively, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and These shafts rotate in unisonby having miter gears 122 and 123 that engage miter gears 12%: and 125fast on a cross-shaft 126. The latter shaft has a gear 121' at one sidemeshing with a large gear 128, provided with a handle 129.v The latterserves to rotate he worm wheels and elevate or depress the chase as maybe desired. The said shaft 123 is supported by uprights 130 and 131 onthe carriage 80. At the lower ends of the shafts 120 and 121 arearranged gears 132 and 133 each provide: with pawls 131 that mesh withratchet wheels 135, 136 that are fast on these two shafts. Said gears,132, 133, mesh with racks 138 and 139 on a slide 1&0 on the carriage.This slide is pivoted to the lever 96 whereby it connects with the band8%. It has been set forth that when the carria e is returned, this leverwill first be swung before the carriage moves. Hence slide 1 10 will beshifted to turn the ratchet wheel, and through the pawls the two wormshafts will be swung, which is sufficient to advance the chase theproper distance for line spacing. The pawls and ratchets will per nitthe reverse movement of the worm shafts to elevate the chase whendesired. in order to permit the chase to be depressed without moving theslide 14,0, means are provided to shift the pawls. A head 1 11 (Fig. 2)is slidable on each shaft 120, 121 and has its lower end conical toengage pins 1&2 on the several pawls, serving to shift the pawls awayfrom the ratchet wheels.

F or the purpose of freeing the carriage from the escapeinent I provideakey 1 13 that connects with lever 114i by link 145 (Fig. 4), andthrough link 1 16 serves to shift the escapement 86 out of range of thecarriage rack 11?.
